AN is bowling one now. Delhi want Kane out. Samad has to help Kane out here. It is AN but you have to go for it, just pick the right ball.
Solid shot. That pull should mean they don't try it again soon, not at same pace. He was waiting for it, and he hit that in front of square. Good one, AS.
And he picks the slower one, good homework and good boundary. Good stuff.
And AN is going away from his strength. Hit the deck, back of a length AN. Keep him down. Or go full and on the stumps.
That over though means, DC have only two of him and KG left. You want to keep 24 from those two. Have to hit 39 in 18 off the others. Doable. Let's go.

I think the loss today was an accident waiting to happen. India had got enough warnings about it. CT 17 was the first one. India had to build a Plan B for their template. Their top order coming good was all cool but they had to ensure there was cover for the top order collapse.
What did India do? They played around with Pandya at 4, then had him back down to try Rayudu. Talked him up, backed him but the moment he had a string of low scores, backed out of him. India were being troubled by top order not coming good since AUS series, MS scored 3 50s..
It told you the team was still not prepared. Then you collapse vs NZ, Rayudu shines but he isn't backed and you have Shankar designated. That doesn't quite go well and you go back to a player who you termed was a backup opener. Rahul does okay before Dhawan gets injured.
